In *Torre desarticulada I*, the artist develops a sculptural language characterized by marked verticality, where openwork geometric forms rise like a fragmented construction that defies apparent stability. The alternation between solid and void creates an intense interplay of light and shadow, transforming space into an active element of the composition. The textured surface of the metal, in contrast to the solidity of the pedestal, accentuates the sensation of ascending lightness and endows the piece with a distinct architectural character. The sculpture evokes both urban vestiges and organic forms in transformation, prompting reflection on the fragility of structures and their constant process of change.
Brickmanne began his exhibition career in 2003 by participating in various group exhibitions. Since then, he has participated in various national and international exhibitions, both group and solo, including: group exhibitions at AAF in New York in 2013, Art Santa Fe, at the Gaudí Gallery in South Korea, at AAF in Hamburg in 2014, at Feriarte in 2017, at SumArte at the Ateneo de Madrid in 2018, and at Studio Lisboa in Portugal in 2018, among others. She has exhibited her work individually at the Belgian Pavilion in Zaragoza in 2008, at the Atalante Gallery in Madrid in 2011, and at the Hotel Hisperia in 2017. She has been honored with several awards recognizing her work, notably the trophy for the “Plus es más” awards, Bayard Editions, the “Cara al viento” Award from the Belgian-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce in Spain and the Spanish-Dutch Forum, and the First Prize in the “Primavera de Escultura” competition organized by the International Association of the Arts.
